Art at Bellissimo Boutique Hotel
At Bellissimo Boutique Hotel, we celebrate creativity and culture by showcasing the works of renowned Zanzibari artist Prof. Y. Kola. A visionary who blends African heritage with contemporary art, Kola has exhibited globally in Italy, France, Germany, and beyond.
We are proud to support Kola Art Perspective, a Tanzanian institution dedicated to empowering young artists from underserved communities. Through mentorship, education, and resources, they nurture talent while promoting self-awareness and resilience—guiding youth away from negative influences and toward fulfilling futures.
Art for a Purpose
Original artworks by Prof. Y. Kola are displayed and available for purchase at our hotel. A portion of the proceeds supports Kola Art Perspective’s initiatives, including art supplies, workshops, and youth programs. By acquiring a piece, you contribute to uplifting aspiring artists and preserving Zanzibari culture.
